Re: Mario rebuffs the Sun!
Glad he told the English gutter press exactly what he thinks of them. He's a footballer. Why should he give a toss whether outside people understand him or not ? He's not a social study case.

Was 20mil to little for our Mario ??
With these insane inflated prices for teenagers who shows just a flash of potential, isn't 20 million to little for a euro star player with world class potential, one of the top 3 players who gives their club exposures ( yes good and bad, but it all counts ).
Hazard went for 36 mil.
Oscar 26 mil
Lucas Moura 36 mil.
Yes some are in Pounds some in euro, but all in all why do i feel like when we sell players we always do a fucking bad business at getting the prices we want.

Re: Mario - Not in City's Plans?
OK city reject offer but who's to say who called who back. Possibly city were trying to engineer a deal involving el shaarawi and cavani, but were told it wasn't happening until the summer, so they pulled out. Maybe then Milan called back saying they would honour the deal but would take Mario now, perchance because of the elections and some kind of arrangement was agreed?ACMilan said:So, Galliani said in the presser that they made an offer for Mario and it was rejected.
End of story...
Until the next night, City calls Milan back up and accepts the offer (without the offer being raised or changed)
There's been talk of "why would they sell him" but there seems to be some underlying truths coming out of the woodwork. I admit, a January sale seemed strange... There was either an anticipation of a big signing on City's part (which failed) or they really didnt want him on the squad anymore.
Thoughts?

Re: Was 20mil to little for our Mario ??
unfortunately his reputation, baggage, and everything else that had gone on pushed it down. plus the fact that there was only 1 club who were ever gonna sign him

Not really when you look at the bigger picture. Mario made more headlines of the pitch than on it

a tad exaggerated.
There's racism everywhere... The real issue is FIFA dragging their knuckles like a bunch of Klan members.

Some clubs will look at his antics as a negative thing and might want to reduce the price, but some clubs will look at it as a positive thing and pay more for it.
Mario gives u first class exposure, i am sure Paris would have loved a player like Mario to boost their exposure.

£20m was about £10m short of his market price.

The Express says the deal could reach £25million. Don't know how accurate their numbers are but I'll choose to believe them because it's convenient. :)

Re: Mario - Not in City's Plans?
So you think he is as much a political signing as much as a sporting and commercial one?
Mancio said:ACMilan said:Mancio said:among Inter fans there is a strong rumor of city wanting to sell mario cause he has got a troubled knee
hope isnt true for mario
hope its true for milan and milan fans
Inter fans lol
That's what medicals are for.
medicals ? LOL
mario is a few of votes for berlusconi. he would have passed the medicals even if he had an amputated leg

We never seem to make fuck all profit on any player.
Always seems to cost us.

Re: Mario - Not in City's Plans?
I for one wouldnt/couldnt deny there is a political agenda involved.
But to say it isnt sporting/commercial related would be flat out biased.
Berlusconi is one of the richest men in the world. With extremely rich sponsors as well. If the guy wanted to get nuts, he could buyout anyone in the world.
He wanted Mario for many reasons and sporting is DEFINITELY one of them

Yes. We got 20mil upfront and another five in add-ons, four of which we would see pretty soon as far as I understood it. That last mil is in doubt though, some "a certain number games for national side" add-on or something.

Re: Was 20mil to little for our Mario ??
again. Not that this is written in stone, but ALL the numbers out of italy say 20m EURO (not pound) and only 3m euro in bonuses.
we shall see
